Real Estate

Is it taking forever to get the dirt off your dishes or the shampoo out of your hair? Are simple tasks like filling a glass of water from your faucet becoming frustrating?

Image via Flickr by arturodonate Closed Water Valves Water comes to your faucet via a maze of pipes and valves.

Ideas to Help Improve Your Sleep Quality

Health

Are you getting enough shut-eye?  More than a third of adults in America aren’t getting the recommended seven hours of sleep each night. Experts cite three major factors that impact your ability to fall asleep and stay asleep: blue LED lights in your device screens, caffeine, and poor indoor air quality. Luckily, these are easy issues to address, and a few simple adjustments to your routine might help you get the sleep you need. Screen time at night is a major sleep disruptor. Over time, sleep cycles evolve to respond to sunlight and darkness, and all kinds of artificial light throw those rhythms off.

Experts recommend that you turn off electronic screens 30 minutes before bedtime and read a book instead. If you just can’t put down your phone,…

Why Bicycles Hold All the Cards & What are Their Integral Parts

Travel

I could probably talk about the health and environmental benefits of riding a bicycle for hours, and most of it would be common sense. Instead, let’s talk benefits from a financial point of view. An average vehicle costs about 80 cents to operate per kilometer, and that isn’t taking into account the costs that come with maintenance and replacing parts, which can cost anywhere from a couple of dollars to several thousand for more serious part replacement and repairs. Oh yes, and then there’s the initial cost of a brand new vehicle, registration, and so on and so forth. Conversely, a brand new, quality bicycle costs a fraction of the price of a vehicle. You can do most, if not all of the maintenance and repairs by yourself, and bicycle parts are quite affordable. Riding a bicycle to work doesn’t have any operating costs, except muscle power, which can in…
